Section 23 The sunset of the gilded platform
Yao Jin looked at Lin Yuebai suspiciously, she didn't speak, and she didn't rush to agree, she let go of Lin Yuebai's hand, got up and walked slowly around the house, and when she walked to the front of the screen, Yao Jin suddenly said, "Is he going to attack Xiao Nanguo?"
Lin Yuebai was silent, she was still squatting there motionless, she didn't seem to hear Yao Jin's words, she just breathed heavily, as if something was pressing her out of breath.
"He knows, you know, I have nothing, in the hands of me, the golden lord of the country, if there is still a place where the emperor of the current dynasty can see and deserve to be used, it is Xiao Nanguo, and there is only Xiao Nanguo. You must know his purpose, but you can't stop him, and you know that I won't compromise easily, and if my guess is right, then he's going to use it now—what is he going to do to force me to comply?"
Lin Yuebai didn't speak.
"You know his chips, and you think I'm going to be forced to agree, that's why you said I shouldn't come, that's why you told me not to promise him anyway, didn't you?"
Lin Yuebai still didn't speak.
Yao Jinsan ran to Lin Yuebai in two steps and pulled her up, looking at her bloodshot eyes that could only be seen when she looked closely, Yao Jin's hands were strong, and he roared: "Yuebai, tell me!
"I can't answer your question, Yao Jin, I can't ......" Lin Yuebai's voice was trembling, and under Yao Jin's almost fierce eyes, she even trembled a little. After a pause, as if she felt that she was too out of shape, Lin Yuebai slowly stabilized, looking at Yao Jin, she said slowly: "But I can tell you another thing, about the death of the first emperor." ”
Yao Jin's heart suddenly fell, as if something had suddenly fallen, she suddenly lost her breath, closed her eyes for a moment, she let go of Lin Yuebai and returned to the seat just now, and sat down.
"At that time, I was summoned to the Zichen Hall by the first emperor, I don't know what he wants to know from me, but I know that he will lock me up and use me to coerce the crown prince at that time, but I didn't expect that Li Yao would find me so quickly and end this matter like that-"
A few days ago, the gilded platform.
Lin Yuebai had been under house arrest here for the third day, she was quiet and never noisy, and her guards were very satisfied with the prisoner's performance. In the past few days, she recalled many things of the past, only to realize that she always seemed to be under house arrest, guarded, hidden and protected, she felt that it was really ridiculous, and at this moment people all over the world may envy her luck: from the daughter of a criminal minister to a quasi-crown princess, who was favored by the former prince and the current prince, and was born with such a heavenly appearance—but she was actually just a prisoner, a caged bird, a gilded cage hanging in a high hall, and even the struggle would make people laugh.
However, this calm did not last long, in a dusk when the hot wind was still blowing, Lin Yuebai was sitting in front of the windowsill in a daze at the sunset, and the door outside was suddenly pushed open.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you can't go in!, Your Majesty has an order-"
"Get out of here!"
"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Highness!ahhh
Some strange noises, the sound of drawing a sword, the sound of someone falling, Lin Yuebai heard it, and heard it clearly, but she didn't move, she just grabbed her sleeve tightly, she didn't dare to move or turn her head, she knew that person was coming, coming to save her, but she didn't want him to come at all.
"Moon white, moon white!" Li Yao rushed in, his breathing was very uneven, it was not because he knocked over a few guards, nor because he climbed such a high step, before he saw Lin Yuebai, he didn't sleep well all night, he was always awakened by the sneer and staring gaze of Emperor Li from nowhere, in his nightmare, he was still the little guard who was punched and kicked by Li Zheng and didn't dare to fight back, he was still the poor man who was spit on by the little palace maid Yao Jin in the torture room, everything he had worked so hard to get was all in vain in his dream- No, if he wants to rescue Lin Yuebai, he must not be coerced by Emperor Li!
"You, you shouldn't come, Li Yao, you shouldn't come. ”
"Did they do anything to you, did you get hurt, did they embarrass you?" Li Yao couldn't help but say and took Lin Yuebai tightly into his arms, his hand was very strong, but it was indeed trembling, he looked around the room quickly, until he saw a half-written word on the desk, he slowly calmed down.
"You came to save me like this, don't you want your life?" Lin Yuebai's hand stroked the stubble on Li Yao's chin, how could she not know how much he loved him? How did she not know that she would rather die than hurt him in the slightest, "Your Majesty didn't treat me well, if you don't come, he won't ...... me after all."
"But if I don't come, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on. Li Yao pressed his chin against Lin Yuebai's forehead, he gently patted Lin Yuebai's back, comforting her and comforting himself: "It's okay, the palace is all arranged, don't worry, no one dares to hurt you anymore, no one can coerce the palace, everything will be fine after tonight, everything will be fine......"
"Why? What happened tonight?"
"Tonight, this palace will go to ask Your Majesty for guilt. ”
Lin Yuebai's eyes widened, and she grabbed Li Yao's hand tightly: "No, don't go and ask for guilt! I'll go, I'll go! It's all my fault, you came here to save me, it's all me who bewitched you! You finally got to this point today, how can you destroy yourself? You don't know him, he is such a ruthless person, he can attack Yao Jin, he won't let you go!"
"So, have you forgiven me Yuebai? have you forgiven me? The matter between me and Wei Nanyan, you know that I have no choice but to do it, you forgive me, right?!"
"No, it's not...... I don't know......" Lin Yuebai shook her head blankly, she was flustered, she didn't know what she was going to say, and she didn't know what to say, her tears suddenly fell, drop by drop, straight on the back of Li Yao's hand.
"Okay, don't talk about this now, let's talk about it later!Yuebai, you go back with Bengong first, Bengong will find the safest place, no matter if something happens to Bengong, you will be safe!"
"You, what are you going to do?" Lin Yuebai was startled, she panicked to look at Li Yao's eyes, there was endless tenderness in his eyes, but there was also a sharp light, like a sword, trying to penetrate someone's heart. She only glanced at it, and she suddenly understood, so Lin Yuebai shook off Li Yao's hand violently and said loudly: "No! No, you can't do that!"
"I could, I should have done that a long time ago! If I had taken a step earlier, you and Bengong might not have had these misunderstandings and disagreements!"
"No! you're going to sit in that position, you can't do that! How can you let your hands get your hands dirty!
"It's because it's him that I have to do this, otherwise, you and I won't be able to see the sunrise tomorrow. ”
Lin Yuebai looked at Li Yao in a daze, and behind him, the sunset was rolling down like a raging fire, like a burning flame, falling into the abyss.
